Chicago Lakefront Cruises from Navy Pier
During the spring and summer months, the Chicago lakefront overflows with excitement and activity - and you can soak it all in on a Chicago sightseeing boat tour. The Chicago lakefront is a clear illustration of the importance of landscaping and public parks in the city's architecture and overall layout and design.

Along your Chicago Lakefront Cruise, you will pass Oak Street Beach, Grant Park, and the Museum Campus. During the summer, Oak Street Beach is an eclectic mixture of sunbathers, bicyclists, casual swimmers, and serious volleyball players. Grant Park is home to many free summer events and all-day festivals. Travelers from around the globe enjoy sampling a variety of cuisines at the Taste of Chicago and dancing in the streets during Blues Fest. Everyone loves to stop at the popular photo spot, Buckingham Fountain, and watch the water shoot high into the air. This fountain and Lake Shore Drive were made famous around the world on the late 80's television program "Married with Children." In walking distance of Grant Park are the Art Institute and Millennium Park, home of the 'Bean' sculpture.

Further to the south, Museum campus is home to the Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium, and the Shedd Aquarium. Just to the south you can see the newly remodeled home of the city's football team, the Chicago Bears, and the newly remodeled convention center, McCormick Place, home of the Chicago Auto Show and numerous other industry tradeshows and conventions. Many of the boats at Navy Pier offer a McCormick Place pick-up for special convention, tradeshow or tour groups.

Kids and adults always enjoy the views, the buildings and the excitement of interacting with the vibrant Chicago lakefront aboard a Chicago sightseeing cruise. Compare Chicago Lakefront Cruises from Navy Pier below...
